SEO for therapists isn't what it used to be. If you’re still marketing your private practice like it's 2020, it's time to change things up! Your potential clients aren't just googling "therapist near me" anymore. They're asking ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI to recommend someone. And if you're not showing up in those AI answers? You're basically invisible.

For today's episode, I invited Chris Moren, founder of Monraker.Ai, an SEO agency for therapists, to tell us what's changed and what we need to do about it. We chat about why your Google Business Profile matters more than ever, how one therapist got 22 reviews and now ranks #1 in his entire city, and the biggest mistake solo practitioners make when they're thinking about scaling to a group practice.

If you've been relying on "good vibes" and word-of-mouth to build your caseload, this conversation is going to shift how you think about marketing. Because doing great work nowadays is the bare minimum, not a visibility strategy. So if you want to fill your caseload faster, understanding SEO for therapists is no longer optional.

"The value of leads from an AI answer is massive. It's probably three to four times the value because of how high they convert...the client is pre-sold, so they're almost just coming to the website to find the booking link." - Chris Moren
